Actually, I just did a double take on that screenshot... I think that is the discrete gpu that ships with the new macs... its not the one in the eGPU
sorry i'm late to the party.
First, yes the picture I posted is an eGPU, NOT onboard. Its in a Sonnet eGPU chassis.
As was mentioned, I chose a GPU only from the list of supported devices on Macbooks, that being the RX570 in my case.
Mine worked out of the box with the following;
1. Installed e-GPU into Sonnet case and plugged into Mac
2. Mac is running Mojave 10.14.3.
3. I downloaded source code from hashcat.net and extracted it.
4. In the extracted folder I ran "make" (NOTE: I have XCode installed and license accepted)
5. I can run ./hashcat -b and it begins a benchmark showing 3 devices : the CPU, internal Intel GPU and the External e-GPU RX570. I can then crack by just specifying the GPU device.
Note the following as well:
I have 2 screens connected to the eGPU while using it (I have not tested but make sure your eGPU is not perhaps going into some kind of off mode if there's no monitors - although it shouldn't really)
The Sonnet did not need any additional drivers. Make sure your eGPU device does not need a particular driver for MacOS to see the pci-express slot. (although if its compatible with Mac it should be fine)
Let me know how it goes.
